Since he doesn’t post here, I thought I’d let you know that my friend Dave who lives on CR 360 at Wahatoya Valley near La Veta here in Huerfano County. He has seen a great number of fall migrators the past several days; many in the New Mexican Locust along the road. He says, of course, best viewing is early morning and again in the early evenings. He mentioned:
• Townsend’s Warblers • Yellow-rumped Warblers • Virginia’s Warbler • MacGillivary’s Warbler • Orange-crowned Warblers • Plumbeous Vireo • Blue-gray Gnatcatcher • …and a good sized Grebe (Red-necked?) first time in a pond near School Creek Road The only other thing of note: the (Polly Wren’s) solitary Common Loon continues to hang around in Diagre Lake at the Wahatoya Wildlife Area here. I did watch a Belted Kingfisher fly low, just above the water, the entire length of the lake. I love that place! In my own yard, I'm still fighting Eurasian Doves and Red-winged Blackbirds...but also have a reasonable number of Evening Grosbeaks that come regularly, along with House Finches, Pine Siskins and of course House Sparrows. Oh, and dozens of Hummingbirds, though Calliopes...not so much. I've also seen a large number of dragonfly-types...could they know I'm building a pond?
